On the occasion of the sixth stage of the Tour de France Women, which left Paris on Sunday July 24, the peloton of runners passed on the Alsatian roads Friday, for a course of 128 kilometers between Saint-Dié-des-Vosges and Rosheim, in Bas-Rhin. It is the Dutch Marianne Vos who wins the stage and retains the yellow jersey.
